{Recipe} easy slow-cooker white bean & sausage stew with spinach

I can't get enough of hot, hearty soups and stews when the cold weather sets in. I've been making variations of this recipe for years and recently tried a version without the usual onions and garlic and the end result was still fantastic. Since I omitted the only chopping you would have had to do for this recipe and since it practically cooks itself, I call this "easy!" ;)RecipeYield: makes about 9 (1 cup) servings

Since I'm from the Midwest, I'm not shy using the terms "chock full" and yes, this stew is chock full of goodness! Legumes such as white beans abound with fiber, antioxidants, folic acid, and thiamin, to name just a few beneficial nutrients. And all that before you even factor in the spinach or tomatoes.
